Abstract

The ?Ecocentros? educational research project is an experience based on school environmental audits, which attempt to achieve the integration of environmental education into all the aspects of life at the centre. The achievement of a signifi cant improvement in environmental awareness is a key feature of the research carried out in the Ecocentros project. The pupils taking part have displayed great motivation, and signifi cant improvements have been achieved in the fi elds of habits and attitudes. Progress has been made towards more respectful ways of relating to the environment while, at the same time, a participative, entertaining and motivational process has been developed.
